| Piano Software Courses Vs Piano Tuition Books (Part 2) | | 2008-07-25 00:00:00 | | Piano software courses have become very popular in recent years, due in no small part to the simplicity of the idea, that being that you can learn in your own home with a virtual teacher on your computer. They are certainly more user friendly than tuition books, but what else do piano software courses offer.

| No More Home Equity Loans for College Tuition | | 2007-09-28 11:01:36 | | With mortgage lenders shutting the door on home equity loans, parents of college-bound kids may have to rethink their school, and financing, of choice. When you flip the switch, the light comes on. Turn on the faucet and the water flows out. Up until recently, many homeowners believed that access to equity financing was as simple and reliable as using those utilities around the house. Now it seems that the supply of money supporting home equity lending has run dry. Change of tides Just a few years ago, sharply rising home values created huge amounts of borrowing power for homeowners. Many non-housing industries were reaping the benefits, as homeowners tapped into that equity to fund anything and everything. Parents who'd saved very little could afford four-year college educations for their children simply by asking the bank for a home equity loan. Easy to get, inexpensive, and tax-deductible, it was often a better option than student loans or other education-specific financing program | | By: Finance Newsweek | | |
| | Tuition Progress | | 2007-09-13 13:50:52 | | All parents want their children to score well in their examinations. No parents would love to see their children fail. Examinations are coming. Any parents who love their children would naturally be worried about their children’s academic results. That is why Valerie has come to my house for tuition as well.

| | Liberals Whine about Rising University Tuition and Student Debt: Fail to Recognize the Problem is Big Government | | 2007-09-11 19:34:14 | | Barbara Ehrenreich of The Nation magazine recently wrote the typical liberal editorial. She addressed a problem and then stated we need to “do something about it.” The “do something about it” clearly involves government intervention to fix the crisis. Well, Ehrenreich and the Nation magazine fail to recognize that government is not the solution; government is the problem.Each year, many students pile on debt attending American universities. As tuition costs increase, the problem exacerbates. On average, students graduate with "$20,000 in debt," while others owe astronomical sums. In fact, some students are so deep in debt that they may spend decades paying off their loans, if they will ever be able to do it at all.Just to get an idea how high the prices are today, George Washington University now costs "$39,210 a year, or $50,000 with room and board." Some of these charges are intended to improve the indoctrination process. The universities call these extra fees "student activi | | By: Copious Dissent - Your Daily Dose of Liberty | | |
| | Tuition Hike’s Disastrous Consequence | | 2007-07-04 18:39:10 | | Only less than half of UPCAT (UP College Admission Test) passers showed up to enroll in the different UP units. In Los Banos and Mindanao, less than 17% of passers enrolled. In Diliman, the entire College of Social Work and Community Development has one freshman. In courses like BA Malikhaing Pagsulat, BA Araling Pilipino, and BA Filipino, none of the passers showed up to enroll.
These are the numbers presented by fellow blogger Bikoy in one of his entries - dismal enrollment figures that point to the disastrous consequences of the blatant commercialization of education.
I wrote about the same topic in a letter to the editor sent to Sun.Star Daily’s opinion section titled “Education Should Be GMA’s Legacy.”

| | Story 14 - Lonely tuition coordinators | | 2007-04-21 06:04:05 | | Many people have the perception that tuition coordinators work individually because they are fearful of their own clients being snatched away by other coordinators. However, tuition coordinators should work hand in hand instead to secure clients by their side. Why is that so?Imagine having many allies whom you can rely on to get tutors for your clients. How would that feel? Indeed, there might be a chance that your client then becomes loyal to your co-broke partner in future but it can be the same for you too! Just like you refer clients to your partners, so will your partners refer clients to you. In fact, yout clients will even be touched that you have their interests at heart and they end up becoming your loyal clients for long.Now, imagine having many other coordinators ally against you. Do you feel even more threatened because the chance of losing your client is even higher? Facing the many other choices that the opponents provide, how confident are you of servicing the parent well?From experience, I can say that co-broking is a win-win situation because both parties stand to gain. Moreover, it does not harm to have more allies than enemies so tuition coordinators really should learn to work hand in hand. To add on, it is lonely to work as an individual, especially when you have many cases on hand and there is no one to share the workload with you. You might get lots of commission but it can never replace yor health and time. Tuition coordinators out there, do take some time to ponder, what is it that you want to achieve in this career? | | By: Life of a Tuition Coordinator | | |
| | Story 11 - When a tuition coordinator falls ill | | 2007-03-21 11:06:17 | | As we all know, tuition coordinators are also human beings and there will definitely be times when they fall ill. Have you wondered, what exactly happens when these coordinators take leave? Curious? Then, allow me to share with you my experience for the past few days. For these two days, I took medical leave as I was still sick from fever and cold. During these two days, there were incidents which took place that delighted me while there were also some which darkened my day. What made me upset was a parent calling to complain about a tutor not turning up for lesson. I expressed my apologies and listened on as the parent proceeded to talk about the tuition fees. At that point of time, I was feeling rather absurd because the parent did not clearly explain who she was. Eventually, I actually had to flip through my data before I realised whom she was. Well, perhaps you might call it the grumpiness of a patient but I guess we have to sympathise the tuition coordinators at times as well. Especially when they cannot get a good rest because of a case cropping up. On the other hand, there was a parent who truly touched me by the concern she expressed. Due to some reason, her tutor had to be replaced urgently and thus, she came looking for me. However, upon learning that I was sick, she rushed me off to rest immediately and told me to put the search for tutor on hold. How kind of her! Honestly, she could have gone off to another agency but she chose to wait for her tuition coordinator to recover and service her. It really touched me and I was so grateful that I went finding the replacement tutor despite being sick. The power of gratitude!Lesson of the day: Appreciate others for their efforts put in whatever they are doing and you will receive the best service in return. | | By: Life of a Tuition Coordinator | | |
| | Story 9 - Cunning tuition coordinators | | 2007-03-01 10:14:39 | | Although belonging to the same occupation, tuition coordinators from different agencies actually see their competitors as their greatest enemy. This time round, I would share with my readers a saddening experience that I encountered some time ago.Just a week ago, I was searching for a tutor for my client when I received an sms saying that he is keen to teach. As the assignment is quite rare, with lesson frequency of once in a fortnight, I asked for only a few details from him before closing the case. The details I requested included the number of years of experience he has in giving tuition, the levels and subjects he has taught before, and also if he currently has any student of the same level. After these details were sorted out, I messaged him the address, timing and date of tuition. For play safe, I passed him the contact number of the parent as well. Of course, tuition coordinators will only do this with the permission of the parent.I was so happy that I can clinch the deal when I suddenly realised something horrible. I forgot to ask for the tutor's name! Indeed, it was careless of me to have missed out on this detail and thus, I tried to call the tutor back to check. However, after two very long rings, I was actually diverted to a mobile number which was no longer in service. I was so worried that I attempted to inform Blue after the disppearance of the tutor.At this point, it became very clear to me that the tutor had been poaching from me! This goes to show, the tutor is actually an agent himself. How despicable to have to resort to such low stoop tricks! For our agency, we would definitely not do such a thing because we believe that it would not benefit us at all. Furthermore, it is really unfair to the agent who has been working on the case for so long.Conclusion of the day: As tuition coordinators, I would wish to see everyone getting along well because there might always be partnerships established between two agencies. Therefore, we should all be in th | | By: Life of a Tuition Coordinator | | |
| | Story 5 - Tuition coordinators/tutors who lie? | | 2007-02-10 12:18:03 | | This entry is definitely familiar to many tutors and tuition coordinators. Think about it, have there been times when you are tempted to lie so as to close the case/get hired by the parent? For me, the answer is simply yes. Most of the time, parents will request for experienced tutors but sometimes, it is really difficult to find one that fits the bill nicely. The tutors who are experienced might not be satisfied with the rate or are willing to travel the extra mile. On the other hand, the tutors who are keen to take up the assignment have either no experience or little experience. At this point of time, you would probably be thinking to yourself, "How about just exaggerating about the years of experience the tutors have actually?" Of course, another side of you would be trying to abolish this thought because it is not the right thing to do. So which side emerges as the final winner is dependable on your determination to resist the temptation. I understand it is hard to resist sometimes but I always make sure I do because I believe in trust between the coordinators and parents. Also, there is always the risk of being found out by the parent and you might have just successfully destroyed the good image in the parents' mind. Lying might enable us to close case/get hired more easily but I would rather not take this risk because honesty is our best policy. Do you agree? | | By: Life of a Tuition Coordinator | | |

| | College Tuition Prepayment Plans Stumble | | 2002-12-18 08:03:00 | | Perhaps the most heartbreaking casualties of recent stock market performance are the 20 state-sponsored college tuition pre-payment plans throughout the country. With college costs continuing to grow at a pace of about 9% per year and investment returns on plan assets being flat or negative, the sponsors of the various prepaid tuition programs now project long-term cash shortages.
